Excerpt indicating the location--"If there is one thing more than another that should convince the outside world that Clark County is fast becoming one of the foremost dairy sections of Wisconsin, the rapidity with which creameries and cheese factories are increasing should be sufficient proof. The latest addition to this field is a new creamery to be built on the Robert Eggett farm in the Town of Eaton on the road running north and south from the *Shanks Chapel to C. W. Tidd’s corner. Some thirty farmers of the Towns of Eaton and Loyal have duly organized and been incorporated as the Farmers Progressive Creamery Company. The shares of the stock are $7.50 each, there being 100 shares. This capital is intended to provide for the building. The machinery and other necessary equipment are to be provided by the butter maker, who is also one of the thirty stock-holders. The butter maker is John Wuethrich who, it will be remembered, had charge of Mr. Grashorn’s creamery in Greenwood for a year or so. He is now at Doylestown, Wis. He has the advantage of being already well acquainted with this part of the country and with many of those who will be patrons of the creamery."
